Nottingham Elective Orthopaedic Services, part of Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, are looking to appoint Lower Limb Arthroplasty Fellows from February 2024 and beyond.

These are exciting opportunities to work in a specialist centre as part of a team of highly specialised surgeons, providing a regional tertiary complex arthroplasty service.

Two fellowships available at any one time (hip and knee) and it's anticipated that Fellows will spend 6 months in each fellowship, with a possibility of undertaking one sub-specialty fellowship (can be discussed at interview).

The Knee Fellow will work under Mr Ben Bloch alongside Mr Reshid Berber/Mr Hosam Matar, and will be exposed to the whole breadth of knee arthroplasty including unicondylar, patellofemoral, primary total and revision knee arthroplasty.

The Hip Fellow will work under Mr Andrew Manktelow with Mr Mark Higgins gaining experience of a complex hip arthroplasty practice, including cemented, uncemented, resurfacing and revision arthroplasty.

Each Fellow will have 2 days minimum supervised operating/week. It's expected that the Fellows will progress towards additional unsupervised operating as trainers are satisfied with progress. There is opportunity to join other theatre lists, along with time for research/audit. Fellows are expected to contribute to the research output of the department.

The Fellow will be expected to participate in the on-call rota for the EO service (no trauma), currently staffed on a 1:9 ratio.

Main duties of the job

The Lower Limb Arthroplasty Fellow will work with and receive training from Mr B Bloch and Mr A Manktelow.

Both consultants are predominantly elective surgeons with Mr Bloch specialising in Knee Arthroplasty and Revision and Mr Manktelow specialising in all aspects of Complex Hip Surgery.

The fellow will attend all elective clinics and theatres for the consultants during the attachment.

It is expected that the fellow will work for each trainer in turn spending up to 6 months with Mr Bloch and 6 months with Mr Manktelow.

There is an on-call commitment covering the elective orthopaedic unit in this post, currently on a 1:9 basis.

A minimum of 2 full days supervised operating per week will be expected with opportunities for the fellow to undertake extra unsupervised operating when appropriate.
